Mackenzie Inksater of Roberts Creek has returned to the Sunshine Coast after competing in the 2016 American Quarter Horse Youth World Cup in Australia. Inksater rode for Team Canada, which placed fourth overall out of 13 teams.
Mackenzie said she would like to thank everyone who made it possible for her to travel to and compete in Australia.
“The Youth World Cup was an incredible experience. I made some amazing memories and learned more than I thought possible,” she said. “Saying goodbye to my new family was very hard but rewarding to know we all had a fantastic adventure.
“I am so grateful for everyone on the Coast who has offered their support and encouragement,” Mackenzie said. “The experience has been life changing and I couldn’t have done it without our amazing community.”
